Modify ratchet shifter

[duallyguy]

Anyone tell me how to modify a B&M Quicksilver shifter to eliminate the reverse lockout...great for the strip, but sucks on the trail, any help would be appreciated....or do I just get a new shifter for my 700R4?

I think there was a writeup on pirate a while back?

Have you taken it apart and looked at it? Shifters are usually pretty easy to modify. Usually it's a matter of grinding a little metal tab either off or into a ramp of some sort.

This.If you pull it apart you will see a tab between drive and reverse.Cut this out.If this is a DD I would do some type of pin to keep it from getting kicked into reverse on the street.

no its not a DD, but I now wish I had made a better shifter choice...I did find a few posts on Pirate and will see if I can modify mine in a similar way..its a little sketchy with that reverse lockout...grinders away!

make sure you post results!

Ive been wanting to do this to mine forever but it always seems like something else is more important

I just took the ratcheting mechanism completely out of mine, then put in a pin to stop it from going itno park. Slam it forward and it stops in reverse. Remove the pin to get into park. Worked great.
